Liberty vs Safety

The absurdy of we have to sacrifice a little – that we just have to deal.

Take it to the next level -what if the government wanted to keep children safe – find out about crime.

Put cameras in homes- what will it take, when will we listen to Franklin’s wisdom.

“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

 -Franklin first said this in the Pennsylvania Assembly’s November 11, 1755 reply to the Governor, and it appears in The Papers of Benjamin Franklin v. 6, p. 242 (ed. Labaree).
